Fabian Delph’s loyalty, that is. The Aston Villa captain was lauded for committing his future to the club after turning down Manchester City a few days ago.

But he obviously woke up in a cold sweat last night because apparently he’s had his medical with City today and a completed deal will be announced imminently.

When City activated Delph’s £8 million release clause everyone expected the midfielder to follow through with the deal. After all, they were apparently offering £100,000-a-week.

But Delph absolutely fudged up a routine transfer by discovering principles which he would quickly abandon less than a week later.

He even released a statement on Villa’s official website, acting like a big hero: “I’m not leaving. I’m staying at the football club and I can’t wait for the start of the season and captaining this great football club.”
